In October, the most expensive Non-Doorman Studios were in Tribeca. Average: $3,088 - ty97 Dec 4, 12:41 10
- What is the benefit of a doorman other than status? Serious question. -- nm - TWuG Dec 4, 12:45 9
  - Keeps tabs on you. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 12:50 1
    - I'm sorely disappointed that no one has said "sexual favors" yet. - TWuG Dec 4, 12:51
  - get you a cab, sign for packages, calls up a heads up when the cops show up with warrents -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 4, 12:47
  - Accept packages. Leave keys for guests/visitors/(airbnb renters) when you aren't around. Perceived (or actual?) security -- nm - ty97 Dec 4, 12:47 4
    - Also, IME, a lot of the newer and bigger buildings seem to be doorman (more often than not) and the older (pre-war especially) tend not to be. - ty97 Dec 4, 12:51
    - Is any of that actually worth the premium paid in increased rent? Again, serious question. -- nm - TWuG Dec 4, 12:50 2
      - not finding evidence or actual presence of hookers and crack smokers plying their trade in the hall/stairway....priceless -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 4, 12:53 1
        
        tip: a clue about street drug usage is finding soda cans ripped in half (heroin/other injectables) or hole punched (crack/smokables) -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 4, 12:55
  - riff raff -- nm - CQ Dec 4, 12:46
BTW, if there is anything that has frustrated you about Blood Feud that could use tweaking, now would be a good time to speak up. - David Dec 4, 12:39 8
- and seriously, get rid of kickers. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 4, 12:47 2
  - [deleted]
  - And DSTs! - Spawn Dec 4, 12:48
- Blood Feud would be great if it wasn't for all the other idiot managers. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 4, 12:42
- [deleted] 3
  - word -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 12:59
  - I would like to see this as well. -- nm - Good Baron Wenceslas Dec 4, 12:45 1
    - Here here! -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 12:48
No good deed goes unpunished. The dog we adopted three-ish months ago is at UofI to have imaging done. Bill will likely run $3000 - TWuG Dec 4, 12:39 6
- Oof. Hope it goes the disc route. Do you or other pet owners here have pet insurance? The potential costs of medical care for pets astounds me -- nm - prayformojo Dec 4, 12:40 1
  - I'm beginning to see the wisdom of carrying it. -- nm - TWuG Dec 4, 12:44
- I would speak to the adoption agency regarding the matter. - David Dec 4, 12:40 3
  - My wife works for them. We can get some free care there, but they don't have the imaging tech or surgical facilities. - TWuG Dec 4, 12:44 1
    - Vet school? San Fran humane soc animal hospital was run by the univ vet school,low fees, no unnecssary tests to run up bill - zeitgeist Dec 4, 12:51
  - puppy lemon law? -- nm - groiny Dec 4, 12:43
Here's your The Chemistry of Brussels Sprouts link of the day (assuming there hasn't already been one) -- (link) - prayformojo Dec 4, 12:34 3
- I wonder if there is a similar issue with cilantro or onions (ex's nephew/niece hated them so it was hard to cook for'm) -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 4, 12:42
- I think they have become my favorite veggie -- nm - decline Dec 4, 12:35 1

LYC - ZICAM oral mist seems to be really working at keeping a cold at bay for me. Had that tickle starting and picked up the ZICAM about 24 hours ago - JenBro Dec 4, 12:13

- I mean it when I say that relegation is an idea we should explore. -- nm - David Dec 4, 12:15 27
  - Redraft league of shame? -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 12:18 3
    - Nah, bottom four of each league in Cavemen. - David Dec 4, 12:19 2
      - Hey! Never mind - amoxy Dec 4, 12:36
      - The Bottom 4 of Cavemen get replaced with a new crop who have to work their way up. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 4, 12:20
  - I like it, though the "Mega League" is an idea I really enjoy with the useful 12-12-12 4-4-4 structure of BF. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 4, 12:17 21
    - [deleted] 8
      - Right, it really doesn't translate in keeper leagues. Someone would need to offer a creative solution. -- nm - David Dec 4, 12:20 7
        
        2nd set of BF's that aren't keeper leagues. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 4, 12:31 3
        
        Plus we do need the 36 Team BF Keeper League. - Spawn Dec 4, 12:33 2

        You can finally get us to do away with kickers! - Spawn Dec 4, 12:36
        
        Team moving up gets first crack at any duplicate keepers. I'm sure we could work it out on a case by case basis, maybe with draft pick compensation. - Strongbad Dec 4, 12:24
        
        I dunno. Give it a "You can't go up and then down in back to back years" caveat and I would take over a weak roster and build it up. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 4, 12:22 1
        
        You like this idea until you inherit Guy's team. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 12:23
    - 36 team league! -- nm - David Dec 4, 12:18 11
      - and Trent Richardson finally becomes a viable play. -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 12:19 4
        
        I had imagined very small benches. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 12:20 2
        
        how will the linemen sit down ? -- nm - decline Dec 4, 12:21 1
        
        On the rookies. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 12:22
        
        [deleted]
      - I would love to do one. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 12:19 5

        We'll cross him off then! -- nm - Tim Dec 4, 12:27
        
        It's been done already. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Dec 4, 12:23 2
        
        Contract negotiations are a breeze. - Spawn Dec 4, 12:24
        
        they did that twice, I thought. -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 12:23
  - [deleted]

An Atlanta federal appeals court struck down a Florida law mandating the blanket drug-testing of all welfare recipients -- (link) - Strongbad Dec 4, 11:59 14
- Very nice! Such a huge waste of money as well as unconstitutional. -- nm - Krusty Dec 4, 12:26
- why would an Atlanta court be ruling on a Florida law? is it just that they moved it out of Florida cause it is Federal? -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 12:03 11
  - Federal Courts are set up by districts and can contain multiple states. This court happens to be situated in Atlanta but has jurisdiction over Flori -- nm - ty97 Dec 4, 12:06 10
    - I concur with myself -- (link) - ty97 Dec 4, 12:07 3
      - So this court covers AL/FL/GA. They put it in the most sane state of the three. - ty97 Dec 4, 12:08 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        *flex* -- nm - Strongbad Dec 4, 12:19
    - merci -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 12:06
    - besides, Florida should not be in charge of anything. -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 12:06 1
      - "What planet is he from?" "Neptune! ...or maybe Florida." -- nm - JaxSean Dec 4, 12:21
    - (I believe) -- nm - ty97 Dec 4, 12:06 2
      - Hallelujah! -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 12:07 1
        
        God wills it! -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 12:08
- it's also been a tremendously stupid and costly idea, so there's that. -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 12:02
When Sons of Anarchy ends next week, that will mark the first TV show* for which I've watched every episode for a long, long time - prayformojo Dec 4, 11:58 2

  - Didn't watch it once it moved to Netflix (?) -- nm - prayformojo Dec 4, 12:22
Bad guy in 10 Things I Hate about You forms religion. - David Dec 4, 11:58 14
- In his day, people mocked L.Ron too. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 4, 12:06 5
  - L Ron became a religion to dodge charges of medical fraud, he was proponent of the orgone box (lead lined with two bronze/tin/zinc? rods you hold) -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 4, 12:11 3
    - well, that and he was a crazy nutball -- nm - decline Dec 4, 12:11 2
      - you just made The List -- nm - Xenu Dec 4, 12:12 1

- Between 2011 and 2013, China poured more concrete than the US in the last 100 years. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 4, 12:08 6
  - right, they've gone from mostly pastoral to mostly industrial. the US is already fully industrialized. -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 12:10 4

        ok but, a lot of that is car assembly which makes it 'made in america' but if you assemble an Ikea bookshelf, was it made in the US or china? -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 4, 12:45
  - yeah, but most of those cities are empty -- nm - decline Dec 4, 12:09
